Here in the Yukon we get a solid month where it's -40C/F and a few months of -25C to -35C. It snows a lot, then the snow turns to hard-pack ice.

I ride every day. You can too.

I can't help but think of how simple things like injuries and aging affect everyone and how driving practically solves these problems.

You want to ride, go ahead. He wants to drive, that's fine. Neither one is more right or wrong than the other. Stop acting like driving is morally wrong (if you're not, many are).

Oh, I'm not saying that at all. I'm simply saying that excuses are not valid. If you want to ride, ride. Don't make weak excuses.
